Cultivating Healthy Cuisine

During this time of year, perhaps the only thing more satisfying than growing your own vegetables is transforming them into amazing culinary delights. These recipes from William Woys Weaver’s Flavors from the Garden offer scintillating possibilities for healthy eats that everyone will not only enjoy for their taste but also appreciate for their nutrition.

This meatless take on the traditional delicacy amps up the flavor with garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, and even a touch of nutmeg—making it a truly distinctive spread.

Want to elevate your veggies? This recipe does just that with a little heat thanks to the chipotle and jalapeño peppers added to its brine.

Scallions, leeks, peas, and other veggies are mixed with peanuts, soy sauce, and spices to make a unique, Thai-inspired dish.
